Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Quite an amazing little CD!.......2004-10-21

This CD sounds better with every listen, and the amount of listens per timespan is definitely on the increase! At first, it sounded like some decent psychedelic-ish rock or pop (it's hard to put it in any one specific category). After the initial listen, something strongly pulled me back to it--a powerful sense that there was much more there than a cursory listen could reveal. My intuition proved correct because this is turning out to be one of the more rewarding CDs I've ever heard. It kind of reminds me of those "find the hidden pictures within the big picture" puzzles from childhood. The more you look (or in this case, listen), the more that is revealed. Each element--guitars, lyrics, bass, vocals, drums--is a rich study on its own, but together as one, the sound is singularly perfect. The liner notes mention comparisons to bands such as Television, Wire, Ramones, Grateful Dead, Byrds, etc., etc., but these comparisons do not begin to do justice--the style is totally unique. I suppose I could keep going on and on, but if you're a fan of totally unpretentious, deeply-moving-but-not-wimpy rock, you should certainly give this music a try!
